Q: Wardha Taleemi Scheme remained the most important reason for Muslims to hate the years 1937-39. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer. (14)
Ans: Congress emerged victorious from the 1937 elections and after setting up its government, proceeded to carry out worst atrocities on the Muslims. It introduced the Wardha Taleemi Scheme, which was authored by Zakir Hussain and supervised by Gandhi. It stated that there would be no religious education and that the medium of education would be Hindi. Also, it stated that cotton spinning would become part of the school curriculum and that students were expected to bow before the picture of Gandhi. In some areas, Tilak was forced on students. This was unacceptable to Muslims as they saw it as a deliberate attempt to obliterate their cultural traditions and to inculcate in the minds of the Muslim children, the superiority of Hindu culture.

Another reason to hate the years 1937-39 was the Biswa Murder Case (1939) where although all the evidences presented were false, 6 Muslims were sentenced to death, just because a Hindu was injured. The Muslim League had prepared Pirpur Report and Sharif Reports to show the unjust treatments of Muslim by Hindus but was given little importance by the Congress and rejected. Band-e-Mataram had been raised as the national cry. It caused great resentment from the Muslim community as it encouraged Hindus to expel Muslims from Hindustan and because its fourth stanza interfered with the Muslim concept of Tawheed. Besides, the Widya Mandir Scheme was also introduced which made temple education compulsory at elementary level.
Non official policies of Congress also proved to contribute to the resentment from the Muslim community. Azan was banned so was the construction of mosques; instead, donations were forcefully taken from Muslims for the maintenance and construction of temples. Pigs were released into the mosques of Muslims and drum processions took place outside mosques, preventing Muslims from praying peacefully. Official policies of Congress were another factor; Congress flag was given the status of national flag and Hindi was announced as the national language with Deva Nagari script as the official script. Moreover, cow slaughter was prohibited and Muslims were forbidden to eat beef. Muslims hated it as the Hindus were trying to sway them from the Two Nation Theory and to subvert the love of Islam from their children and convert them to Hinduism. Gandhi was known as a dictator by proxy.

Congress ministries did their best to economically degrade the Muslim community. Muslims were expelled from Government jobs, which were their main source of income. Muslim trade and agriculture was harmed. Frequently, anti-Muslim riots broke out in which Muslims were killed and their properties burnt. When Muslims lodged complains against this oppression, the Government pressured the judges, who gave the decision in the favour of the Hindus, sending Muslims behind bars.

The impact of the tyranny had been so far-reaching that Jinnah had said to Mountbatten:
"Well I am afraid we must have partition. Look at what they did to us in 1938-39. We will be permanently at the mercy of the elected Hindu majority..."

I agree because the scheme was not only aimed at targeting the religious sentiments of the Muslim minority, but also to destroy the cultural traditions of Muslims and to give the impression of Hindu dominance in the sub-continent. The impact of this was that relations between Congress and Muslim League became irreconcilable. The attempt to remove the feelings of Islam from the 'Mussalman children' was unacceptable to Muslim.

Q: How successful were the Round Table Conferences? Give reasons for your answer. (14)

The Round Table Conferences were a series of meetings held in London and were opened by King George V and chaired by the British Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald. 3 British political parties also attended the conferences with 16 delegates. Moreover, Indian parties also attended the conferences with 89 delegates. Prominent Muslim leaders included Jinnah, Maulana Muhammed Ali Johar, Sir Shafi and Maulvi Fazl-ul-Haq. It's success was in the fact that it was mutually agreed upon that a federal form of Government would be introduced in India. Moreover, the British allowed the Indians to take complete control of India at provincial. Also, princely states agreed to join the Indian Federation if their rights were safeguarded. It was due to the absence of Congress that the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was officially signed. Besides, the rights of minorities were promised to be safeguarded. Furthermore, another success was that it was agreed that Sindh would be granted full provincial status and a governor would be appointed there (this was one of the terms agreed and implemented in the 1935 Act). Lastly, a success was that it was agreed that Responsible and Representative Governments were to be formed at Provincial Level. The second RTC had very much the same delegation except that Congress had joined it. Minorities had mutually consulted and agreed upon separate electorates. Another success of the Second Round Table Conference of 1931 was that NWFP was granted full provincial status and that Communal Award was introduced as a result of the Conference. The third Round Table Conference was held in 1932. Besides not causing more issues to erupt, it had nothing of substance achieved greatly due to the fact that both Congress and Jinnah were absent. In fact, Jinnah was not even invited to the conference.

Although the Round Table Conferences were successful to some extent, they had more failures than what was apparently achieved. In the First Round Table Conference, the absence of Congress meant that little could be achieved since a major party was absent from the Conference as its leaders were arrested due to Civil Disobedience Movement. Thus, nothing of substance could be achieved if a party who had 75% of the support of Indians had not attended it. Another failure of the First Round Table Conference was that nothing was achieved regarding separate electorates for Muslims. In the Second Round Table Conference, Gandhi falsely started to claim that Congress was representing the whole of India and Gandhi refused to acknowledge the problems of minorities and instead wanted an independent, united India. He remained adamant on his decision and also declined the proposal to implement Jinnah's Fourteen Points in the upcoming reforms. The Third Round Table Conference was no more than a formality, the majority of the princes were absent so were the Congress and Jinnah, who had gone into exile to practice law. Nothing of substance could be achieved in this Conference and it ended in dismay.

To conclude, the Round Table Conferences had the primary aim to discuss the recommendations of the Simon Commission Report and to mutually agree the parties to offer proposals for the upcoming reforms which was not achieved. Thus, since the primary objective was not achieved, it can be rightly stated that the Conferences did not achieve anything of substance, greatly due to the fact that neither Congress was cooperating with Muslim League nor Muslim League was ready to make sacrifices and allow Hindu Dominance in India.


^^^ This too, any advice is highlt appreciated.

why did sir syed ahmed khan write ' the causes of indian revolts 1875' ? (7)

1. british blamed the war on muslims and carried out worst atrocities on them (elaborate this)
2. muslims themselves started to consider british their arch-enemy and hated them. so ssak wanted to improve relations b/w them and explained to the british the actual reasons that sparked WOI. (elaborate this too)
3. since british were determined to degrade and destroy muslims, non muslims powers started to rise in the sub-continent especially hindus, which worried ssak about the fate of muslims. (elaborate)

Re: HISTORY Rare questions !!

hello guys i am new in this forum
i read all the questions and tried to solve them
however i have a little confusion

in the mark scheme it is said that u get top level ( level 3 in 7 marks and level 3 or 4 in 14 marks question) if you explain reasons. but the real question is that can uget the top marks without describing the events by just explaining it(this is what i do) or do u first have to describe then explain it, u see for most questions the explanation is further explanation of descriptions. However for questions about reforms 1909-1919 and 1940-1947, they are different as u can see below.

so do u have to give whole provisions of these reforms or just explain how the reforms were important?????

please reply and if anyone give an answer please do so.

(c) Were the Morley-Minto reforms the most important attempt by either the Muslims, the
Hindus or the British in seeking a solution to the problems in the sub-continent
between 1906 and 1920? Explain your answer.

Level 1: Simplistic statement [1-2]

Morley was the Secretary for State for India and Minto was the Viceroyof
India.

Level 2: Description of above [3-6]

The Imperial Council was enlarged to 60 members and the Provisional
Councils to 50 members in the larger states and 30 in the smaller ones.

Level 3: Explains one factor [7-10]

Level 4: Explains at least two factors (M-M to be explained for [9-13]
maximum marks)

The Morley-Minto Reforms became law in 1909 as the Indian Councils Act.
The importance of the Councils which were enlarged was to ensure that
Indian legislators were given a chance to express their opinions. The
British also accepted the right of Muslims to have a separate electorate.
However there were other attempts to solve the problems in the sub-
continent during these years. The Lucknow Pact of 1916 as an agreement
between the Muslims and Hindus which placed a number of political
demands to the British government in an attempt to show a united front and
produce common aims. Little was done by the British government about
the sub-continent during the First World War but shortly afterwards in 1919
came the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms. These Reforms disappointed
the Muslims and Hindus as they had hoped for greater concessions.
Central government reserved sweeping powers for itself with only minor
concessions for the locals. The Reforms did hold out concessions to
political parties provided that they accepted the right of the British to remain
in control. The Rowlatt Act of the same year increased the resentment of
the political parties by including the right of arrest without a warrant and
detention without bail.

Level 5: As Level 4: also produces a judgement or evaluation [14]

the explanation includes an evaluative part. u have to explain why each is important (just say the blah blah term was important AS). THEN 'conclude' which was the MOST important in your opinion. This would achieve an excellent mark, provided you sufficiently explain it. explanation is not a mere description of the reforms but link to the question like how it was IMPORTANT. the marking scheme is sufficient to guide you, but you would have to expand it tho.

like " the fourteen points of jinnah were his most important contribution to the Pakistan movement from 1900-1947. do you agree or disagree? give reasons for your answer." you will explain how the fourteen points were important like it safeguarded muslim interests like 1/3 seats, separate electorates as well as other demands like sindh to be separated from bombay presidency. you would have to explain other achievements of jinnah TOO like he was a staunch advocate of hindu-muslim unity. as a liberal, he greatly contributed to the concluding of the lucknow pact of 1916. the effect of this was that hindu-muslim cooperation reached its peak which seriously worried the british, who felt it necessary to introduce new reforms. also, he did not hesitate to pull back from his dream like at the apc of 1928; he was heckled and even rejected and so, claimed it to be the parting of the ways with a dejected heart.

this is a mere outline, you are expected to elaborate it so as to achieve the top bands. hope i helped
